What is Guerrilla Gardening? If you've ever wondered how to create big impact through small actions – even from your backyard – then you can't miss a discussion on guerrilla gardening with fynbos at an upcoming event organized by our Mycelium Network member, Melanie Farrell.

🗓️ Tuesday, 20 May 2025

📍 Neighbourhood Farm, Fish Hoek

Hosted by Fynbos Corridor Collaboration and Eva van Belle, an enthusiast of indigenous plants and fauna, the session will cover the creation of small guerrilla gardens in open urban areas.

Cape Town caught fire. It started in Tokai, swept up the Constantiaberg and over to Silvermine, along to Clovelly, and then continued to Kalk Bay, Muizenberg, and Lakeside.

How do we talk about trees in a rational, calm way? The wrong tree in the wrong place is a problem. “Wrong trees” are alien, invasive trees. The “wrong place” is close to your house. Why wrong? Because if the tree traps embers from an urban fire your house could catch fire.

How can we protect our homes from urban fires?

A friend invited me to an artist’s walkabout at a gallery in central Cape Town. Joy Carkeek is soft-spoken and gentle. A former art teacher, during lockdown she started to experiment with her artworks. Tearing them up, burying them in soil, experimenting with simple poetry. Haiku. Powerful pieces.

I was expecting slow stitching and repurposing but the poignancy of some of the exhibits evoked strong emotions.
